Charts
Build, style, copy, move, close.
Describe the chart and it appears: instrument, bar type, how far back, trading hours, your template, and where on the screen. Then change it the same way: another instrument, settings of an existing series, the look, a second tab, a template. Eleven questions, in order, inside the HTAITest workspace you just made.
The replies are the assistant’s exact words, the pictures stills, from the recorded run of September 24, 2026. Watch the recording.
Coming in cold? Any open workspace will do; the prompts open their own chart.
__HTAIBridge indicator on it; a chart your assistant opened carries it from birth. Closing a chart, loading a template onto one, or saving a template over an existing name needs the Destructive tick too, and your yes in the chat unless --- Unattended is on. It never closes a chart it was not asked to."Open an NQ 5-minute chart, 30 days, across the top half of my screen."
A new chart window, placed where you said, on the template you named, with the permission indicator already on it. Nothing else on your screen moves.
Click for what came back
NQ 12-26, 5 minute, 30 days, on the HTAIDarkBlank chart template, across the top half of the main monitor. Loaded 6,243 bars. It is chart 4 in HTAITest.
"Make it ES."
The instrument changed on the chart you have, the way the toolbar's instrument picker does it. That chart reloads; nothing else blinks.
Click for what came back
Chart 4 is now ES 12-26, 5 minute, 30 days. Only this chart reloaded, 6,243 bars.
"30 minute, regular hours only, 60 days, and show me the last three sessions."
The rest of the Data Series dialog, by name: period, trading hours, days to load. Then the view fitted so the last three sessions fill the window.
Click for what came back
Chart 4 is now 30 minute bars, regular trading hours, 60 days back, 643 bars. The view is fitted to the last three sessions, from September 22 to now, 36 bars.
"No grid, give the price some room, and a wider right margin."
The chart's own properties, the ones in its right-click dialogs, by name. Redrawn on the spot, no reload.
Click for what came back
Grid lines were already off on this template, so they stay off. Right side margin went from 150 to 300. The price scale margins went from 10 to 20 percent, top and bottom. Redrawn on the spot, no reload.
"Show it as a line chart, then OHLC, hollow, box, mountain, then candles again."
The chart style type from the Data Series dialog, by name, one after another. Each one redraws on the spot; the same sentence works for any style NinjaTrader lists, including your own.
Click for what came back
Six styles, two seconds apart, each one read back: Line on Close, OHLC, Hollow candlestick, Box, Mountain, then Candlestick. Redrawn each time, no reload.
Six views of one chart, not six charts. The style cycle two seconds apart, right half of the chart. Top row: line, OHLC, hollow candles. Bottom row: box, mountain, back to candles.
"Add an NQ tab next to it, and save the ES one as a template called MyDark."
A copy of the chart as a second tab of the same window with the instrument changed on the copy; then a chart template saved from the original, for opening charts from later.
Click for what came back
NQ 12-26 is chart 5, the second tab of the same window, same period, hours and look, 643 bars. Chart template MyDark is saved.
"Name the tabs ES and NQ, and go to ES."
Tab names by prompt, what the tab's right-click Rename does, then the window's selected tab by name. Say a name with @INSTRUMENT or @PERIOD in it and NinjaTrader fills those in, the way the kit's own charts are captioned. From here, "that chart" means ES until you say otherwise.
Click for what came back
"Pull the NQ tab out into its own window, top right; ES top left."
A tab detached into a window of its own and placed where you said, the way dragging a tab off the tab row does it. It keeps its series, its look and its permission.
Click for what came back
NQ is detached into its own window on the top-right quarter, now chart 6. ES shrank to the top-left quarter. The detached tab took NinjaTrader's default name again, so it reads NQ 12-26 rather than NQ.
"Open a copy of the ES chart in a new window."
The chart duplicated into a window of its own, everything the same, the original untouched. For a second look at the same instrument on another monitor, or a spare to experiment on.
Click for what came back
ES copied into a new window on the bottom-right quarter, chart 7, 30 minute, same hours and look, 643 bars. Three chart windows are open in HTAITest.
The bottom-left quarter, where the assistant’s own window sits, is blanked, and so is the recording’s avatar in the corner.
"Close that copy."
A chart closed by prompt, only the one you named. The bridge closes a chart it was asked to close and never one it was not; with the chart's own close it answers no save question, because a chart has none.
Click for what came back
Closed chart 7, the ES copy, and its window with it. The ES chart and the NQ chart remain open.
The bottom-right quarter, where the ES copy was, is empty again. The bottom-left quarter and the recording’s avatar are blanked as in step 9.
"Save this workspace."
The workspace saved as it stands, so the ES and NQ charts you just built come back the next time you open HTAITest. The same sentence keeps any layout you make this way.
Click for what came back
HTAITest is saved, with the ES window top-left and the NQ window top-right.
More you can ask (These are just examples. There is no menu to learn.)
- "Take a picture of it." (a PNG exactly as NinjaTrader draws it, in your Pictures folder)
- "Pull it onto my other monitor."
